OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hello Rich,

What do you mean with "main clock source"? There are various clocks in a 
synth like the OBXa. In a first look I find at least two generators  in 
sheet 1 of 3 for Upper Control Board in the service manual Rev. 3.  One 
of them is the normal CPU clock, the other drives the !INT, which is 
assumingly the mainclock for the S&H stages.

Mux/Demux systems for modulation amounts run quite often on clocks, 
which run independent from the CV-to-S&H-Demux clocking (I'm not sure 
the OB-Xa uses such a concept anywhere).
